Japan's JX aims near full run rate at Caserones copper mine by end-Sept

TOKYO May 11 (Reuters) - Japan's JX Holdings Inc
said on Wednesday its Caserones copper mine in Chile ran at a
utilisation rate of about 80 percent in March, missing its
earlier target of full utilisation throughout the month.

JX, whose metal unit is Japan's biggest copper smelter, aims
to reach a near full utilisation rate at Caserones by the end of
September from around 80 percent to 90 percent now, Executive
Officer Katsuyuki Ota told a news conference on its full-year
earnings results.
